About this event

Adults. Ever wonder how what you watch, read and scroll shapes your world view? This engaging five-week workshop, developed by The League of Women Voters of Jefferson County, invites you to look at the role of media disinformation and bias in polarizing our society. From the ancient history of propaganda to the contemporary rise of social media and generative AI. Learn to recognize media and personal bias, identify misinformation and listen to a panel discussion by local journalists and professors. Series based around the book True or False: A CIA Analyst's Guide to Spotting Fake News, by Cindy L. Otis. Weekly Theme: How We Got Here Examine how media has evolved over centuries. Explore the comparatively recent power of cable news, talk radio, social media and the decline of traditional print journalism.
